Two new exhibitions at ZAK – Zentrum für Aktuelle Kunst
From 10.9.2022 two new group exhibitions are open for visitors at ZAK – Zentrum für Aktuelle Kunst.
We invite you to the opening of our new exhibitions at ZAK on 9.9.2022 from 7 p.m. The focus is on the exhibition “State of Emergency. Polish Photo Art Today” curated by Grażyna Siedlecka and Jens Pepper. On the upper floor, we present “Big City Baby”, another group exhibition that brings together Young Art from Berlin. The project emerged from a cooperation with the weissensee school of art and design berlin and is directed by Prof. Pia Linz and Petra Trenkel. Members of the student initiative Kleine Humboldt Galerie (Lotta Feibicke, Nikolas Geier, Anna Latzko, Monique Machicao y Priemer and Saskia Schiemann) curated the exhibition.

Today, the Spandau Fortress is a nature reserve that is home to a bat colony and where numerous plants have settled in the surrounding biotope. I am fascinated by the contrast between wartime architecture and nature reserve. The composition is therefore called “obitop:biotop” – from place of death to place of life. It contains static aspects, i.e. a formal concept, traditional musical notation and static playing positions, as well as dynamic aspects, such as the movement of the dancers in the space, graphically notated improvised elements, and interactions with the outside space. In “obitop:biotop” I am searching for a form of notation that combines composition, improvisation and concept and is open to site- and situation-specific influences.
From 10 p.m.:
Performances by the punk bands “Die Verlierer” and “Egon X”.
